Story4.5 out of 5 stars 44
After thousands of years, Cain awakens to find that the world has gone on without him. In his slumber, humans and people of power have stopped being afraid of, well, anything. Beyond that, they’ve become cruel for cruelty’s sake, fascinated with their ability to spread death through famine, war, and even plagues. In their minds, they have no equal. They’re wrong.

During a routine survey mission on an uncolonized planet, Kira finds an alien relic. At first she's delighted, but elation turns to terror when the ancient dust around her begins to move. As war erupts among the stars, Kira is launched into a galaxy-spanning odyssey of discovery and transformation.

In the beginning, the gods destroyed the world. Five hundred years later, things haven’t gotten much better for humans. The demigods that were left behind to guard over humanity have been using them as fodder for an endless civil war between themselves, and the humans just go on dutifully slaughtering each other, battle after battle. It’s not all bad, though. Perry McGown makes his living off those bloody, stinking battlefields. He works on a crew that reclaims all the spent shell casings. But if anyone found out that he was a deserter from the war, he’d be executed for heresy.

In the beginning, the gods destroyed the world. Five hundred years later, things haven’t gotten much better for humans. The demigods that were left behind to guard over humanity have been using them as fodder for an endless civil war between themselves, and the humans just go on dutifully slaughtering each other, battle after battle. It’s not all bad, though. Perry McGown makes his living off those bloody, stinking battlefields. He works on a crew that reclaims all the spent shell casings. But if anyone found out that he was a deserter from the war, he’d be executed for heresy.

Black Site
This was a really fun, short read. I didn't know what to expect and I was really glad that I went into it blind. It was certainly something I haven't read before.

Achieves A Lot In Such A Short Story
4.5 out of 5 stars
I’m not going to lie, when I saw the cover of this… probably a year ago, I was excited for it, then subsequently bummed out because it wasn’t available on audio. Now, I know that making an audiobook isn’t easy or cheap but I’ve been spoiled with the massive amount of amazing audiobooks that are out there. Michael Patrick Hicks‘ books included. I’ve enjoyed every audiobook he’s put out – and I knew if/when this was released I was going to enjoy it as well.
I was right, Black Site was the exact short story I was looking for this weekend. I was able to start and finish it in one sitting and it was a complete story that didn’t need hundreds of pages or hours of audio to prove its point. Black Site was originally part of a collection of stories about clones, so the fact that this is about cloning was no surprise.
What was a surprise was the amount of “wtf” moments that Hicks was able to shove into such a short story. I can’t really talk about any of them because it would spoil it, but know that you’re in for a book that messes with your mind. And one that definitely had me aching for more Hicks audiobooks.

Good quick listen with plenty of twists
The book details advertise for fans of Alien and Lovecraft. I am fans of both and the story didn’t disappoint. It’s. A short story so there isn’t too much detail I could give that wouldn’t provide spoilers. Suffice it to say it’s worth getting. Sit back hold tight and get ready for the thrills. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher
